The construction of shoulder bikeways generally consists of widening paved shoulders to an appropriate width (generally a minimum of six feet) to accommodate bicycle travel out of the motor vehicle travel lanes. These types of improvements enhance both capacity and safety by providing for the separation of bikes and motor vehicles. In addition, the widened shoulders can be used by pedestrians and generally enhance motor vehicle safety by providing additional opportunities for errant vehicles to recover and return to their travel lanes without running off of the road.
